Chapter 924 Asking Too Much
Zongxin covered his face with a black scarf and said, "Yaoyao, do I look like Yeluzhen?"

"It's not very similar... Although the hair and eyebrows are very similar, after covering the face, only the eyebrows and eyes can be seen. Your eyes are not like Yeluzhen. But the biggest disadvantage of the disguise technique is that it cannot change the eyes. If it is If Sister Xingyue, she might be able to recognize you."

Zong Xin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were red with only a slit like a beast's pupil.

"Does it look like this?"

Both Yaoyao and Baiyu were taken aback, but they calmed down quickly, because there were too many things Zong Xin could do, and there were too many things they didn't know, so they had already gotten used to it.

Yaoyao shook her head and said: "Now these eyes are not like Zongxin, but they are not like Yeluzhen either. Moreover, Yeluzhen's voice is deeper and calmer, with a little hoarseness. How to solve these two problems?"

Zong Xin closed his eyes again, and when he opened them, his eyes were as white as a dead person, with a small black spot in the middle, and it was almost impossible to tell that they were a pair of eyes.Yaoyao and Baiyu watched the eyes change slowly, the whites of the eyes receded a lot, and the pupils also changed slightly. It didn't look so scary, but it still didn't look like Yeluzhen, nor Zongxin.

"The eyes are a little better... at least they look normal. How to solve the sound?"

Zong Xin said in a low voice, "I try to speak as little as possible."

"Oh~ that's right, you don't need to talk."

Just as they were talking, the three of them heard a knock on the door.Bai Yu immediately stepped forward to answer the door, and Zong Xin hid behind the door.Baiyu only opened the door a crack, so the man couldn't see what was going on inside.Without giving him a chance to speak, he took the tray in his hand and closed the door.

After the man's footsteps gradually moved away, Zong Xin immediately said: "Okay, you guys change your clothes too, it's getting late, I'll watch you take off your clothes."

Yaoyao and Baiyu have nothing to hide, which part of their body has not been seen by Zong Xin?But Yaoyao and Baiyu also know that Zong Xin has some special hobbies. Zong Xin doesn't like to take off women's clothes on his own initiative, but he likes to watch women take off one by one.The two women, Baiyu and Yaoyao, don't know what fun it is to look at them like this, but they like to satisfy Zong Xin's hobby.

After the three were ready, Zongxin handed Yihan to Yaoyao, and the Dionysian Gourd and Shenlongmu to Baiyu.The dragon wood has been completely wrapped with black cloth, and Yi Han has also changed the scabbard. Only the Dionysian gourd is easily exposed. Zongxin also specially brought a cover to the Dionysian gourd. Most people only know that it is a gourd, but look not see.

The three climbed directly onto the roof from the window, and took advantage of the darkness to jump left and right on the roof of Jizhou City. The lightness skills of the three were all top-notch. Unless members of Dugu's family were walking on the street, ordinary people would not be able to find their whereabouts at all. .Although the Dugu Mansion is newly built, it has already become the largest wealthy household in Jizhou City. It is built in the most luxurious and widest area of ​​Jizhou City in the north of the city.

In addition to the main house of Dugu Valve, there is a huge winery and distillery at the back. The winery has never stopped, and the distillery is also raising smoke day and night.These two places are already very huge, not far away there is a grain field of the Dugu clan, which is also one of the industries that the Dugu clan depends on for their livelihood.

Jizhou City is not surrounded by city walls, and Jizhou, which was not considered big at first, is now brightly lit.Because of the industry of the Dugu Clan here, Jizhou City has gradually become prosperous.There is no doubt that an industry can drive the prosperity of a city. As more merchants come and go, the demand for the city will also increase. Various industries take root here, and they all want a piece of the pie.

The three of Zong Xin went to hide in a tree far away, where they could see the main hall of the Dugu Clan, but other than that, they couldn't see anything serious, let alone hear the conversation inside.

Zong Xin whispered: "It's useless to peek here, should we eavesdrop on what deal they are going to make?"

It's really useless here, but if the distance is too close, I'm worried about being discovered by Duguhuang.Duguhuang's skill is so high that even Zong Xin would not dare to fight head-on with him, but with his unrestrained Taixiao true energy, he can frighten him.It's just that Yaoyao and Baiyu are easy to spot, and Dugu Xingyue can recognize them at a glance by their martial arts, and they can even tell who they are just by looking at their figure.

"Msister, let's go secretly, we should not be found. Even if we are found, you go first, and we will escape immediately." Yaoyao also knows that they are too familiar with Dugu Xingyue, but they are wearing night clothes in the dark , Dugu Xingyue's eyesight is not so good, it is impossible to recognize it.

"Well, be careful, don't expose yourself."

The three of them landed on the courtyard wall of the Dugu Falcon very carefully, and then lightly jumped onto the roof of the main hall, lying on the roof to listen to the voices inside.The lightness kung fu of the three of them is extremely brilliant, even the sound of the wind is louder than their footsteps, so it is not easy to find out.

……

"I still need to think about this matter. Zong Xin only made thirteen distillers for Dugu Valve before he died. You want to dismantle one to see what's inside... This may have a great impact on Dugu Valve's business. What's more, although I, Duguhuang, admit that I am a citizen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there is no need to sacrifice myself for the war between you."

Li Congji said: "Father has promised that as long as the lord agrees to this matter, all losses will be counted on us. Father has ordered the people from the Zhengyou Escort to deliver 100 million taels of silver to Dugu. We will go one step ahead. The valve owner doesn’t need to think about it anymore, I don’t want all the distillers, just one of them, take a look at the structure inside, so we can make the same distiller, as long as we have shochu in Nantang, This battle must be won. You have to think about it carefully, if we win and you don’t agree to this, I’m afraid there will be no place for the Dugu Clan after the unification of the world.”

Dugu Huang was also in a difficult situation, but in fact, the people of Dugu Valve had always wanted to do this, but all the distillers were running all the time, and the business was so good that they didn't have time to study it carefully.What's more, with Zong Xin around, when they are too busy, they can ask Zong Xin to do a few more.

The people of Dugu Valve also know that operating a distiller is actually not considered a skill, and it is truly powerful to be able to make these devices.People from the Dugu Clan were not afraid at first, but now that Zong Xin is dead, if these distillers are broken, there is not even a single person to repair them, and it will be really troublesome at that time.

Dugu Huang took a peek at Dugu Xingyue, and Dugu Xingyue also gave a little signal. In fact, this matter is imperative. Even if they are not willing to reduce the number of distillers, they still have to do so even if all the distillers here are dismantled. Know the structure of the still, otherwise these things will disappear completely after being used up.Today, there is only Tianya who can make this kind of thing.

Duguhuang took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, do you know how much profit a distiller can bring to Dugu Valve? A mere 100 million taels is nothing? If it breaks, Dugu Valve will lose more than 100 million taels." so little."

"If we can make it ourselves, let alone one, it's easy to make ten or eight, isn't it? If things go on like this, it's not a good thing for Dugu Valve, so you also have to study the making of stills. Now it's just It is proposed by us that 100 million taels is the money to learn this technology, and you should have no objection."

Duguhuang said: "It's weird if you don't have any objections. If you can also make shochu, Chai Rong will definitely keep an eye on our Dugu clan. After all, Zongxin is dead, and Tianya will never give the distiller technology to Nantang. This technology Chai Rong still doesn’t know who it was that spread the news? The Dugu Clan won’t be able to bear it by then.”

Duguhuang suddenly realized that under the current situation, if Dugu clan spread this technology to Southern Tang Dynasty, he would be a sinner of Zhou Dynasty.When the time comes, Chai Rong becomes angry from shame, and the Dugu Clan is doomed.I didn't think about this problem just now, but now that I think about it, I feel a little scared. This technology must not be leaked from the hands of Dugu Valve.

This battle is especially important for the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty. If two tigers fight, one will be injured. If the Zhou Dynasty wins this battle, then Chai Rong will continue to march south until the Tang Dynasty perishes.During this period, Nan Tang will never be given any respite.If Nantang wins, maybe the two sides will temporarily truce, and Chai Rong will conquer Nantang again after his strength recovers.

This is the difference between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now that Chai Rong is in power, with Guo Wei working so hard to manage the court, no one dares to resist Chai Rong.Moreover, all the kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty were threatened by Chai Rong. As long as Chai Rong made an imperial edict, they would not dare not send troops.Chai Rong's current situation is that he can continue to send troops to the Southern Tang until one side can't hold on.

But Li Jing did not have this strength. Although he was the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, his power was not concentrated. Such a situation was very helpful for ruling, but he could not go all out for war.So even if Nan Tang wins this battle, everyone's relationship will be temporarily peaceful at best, and it is impossible for Nan Tang to counterattack Da Zhou.

Duguhuang knew very well that no matter whether Chai Rong wins or loses this battle, he will not abdicate for the time being, and the power is still in his hands.So as long as there is a lot of shochu in Nantang, even if Nantang wins, it will be a dead end.Therefore, Duguhuang is at most giving Li Congji a large amount of shochu, and will never transfer the technology.

Dugu Xingyue didn't think of this just now, so she agreed, but after Duguhuang mentioned something, she knew that he cared, so Dugu Xingyue also thought that Duguhuang had done a good job. Of course, she couldn't easily agree to such a thing. What is ten thousand taels of silver?If there is an enmity with Chai Rong, the entire Dugu Clan will be destroyed.

In fact, Chai Rong's destruction of the Dugu Clan is also of great benefit to him. He can monopolize the operation in the territory of Dazhou. In the whole Dazhou and even the whole world, anyone who wants to drink soju must buy it from him. This is very important for Chai Rong. For Rong, this is also a lot of money.
